hela Sverige The Department of Applied Mechanics conducts research in the areas of vehicle design and mechanical engineering. The research is often carried out together with national and international academic and industrial partners, and it concerns both fundamental and applied problems.
The research at the Division of Combustion concerns combustion and emissions formation in internal combustion engines and gas turbines. It is highly focused on supporting the transition to a future sustainable transport system. General information about the department and the division can be found at

We are seeking a new PhD student to start in the spring or summer of 2011. The research will be conducted within the project described below.
Chalmers is a member of the Engine Combustion Network managed by Sandia National Labs in California. This network studies a collection of specialized diesel injectors with the goal to develop a comprehensive database. Chalmers has a high pressure and temperature spray research chamber in which we will study this injector. We have been developing a new laser diagnostic technique named ?ballistic imaging? that is capable of visualizing spray breakup very near the nozzle (see this paper: "Ballistic Imaging of the Near Field in a Diesel Spray", Mark Linne , Megan Paciaroni, Tyler Hall, and Terry Parker, Experiments in Fluids, 40, 836-846, (2006)). It will be applied to this injector, together with other measurements.
The PhD student will work with;
• Detailed measurements on the ECN injector.
• Working with others at Chalmers to apply ballistic imaging to the ECN injector.
• Working with collaborators from the University of Lund to apply another diagnostic named structured laser illumination planar imaging.
As a doctoral student you will have a main supervisor and associate supervisor(s). The project includes applied research with some relevance to industry. You will present your research at scientific seminars and conferences. The project requires that you develop an ability to extract useful results from your research and to communicate these, verbally and in writing, in Swedish and in English.
You will be employed as a doctoral student by Chalmers and will receive a salary according to current salary agreements. A maximum of 20% of your working time will be devoted to duties at the department in question, mainly teaching on bachelor and master level. The remaining time will be devoted to your own research education, where the aim is to complete your PhD examination within 5 years (nominal time without department duties is 4 years).
Required qualifications
The applicant should have a Master of Science (Swedish: civilingenjör) exam, preferably in Mechanical Engineering or with a similar background. Knowledge about sprays and high pressure spray research chambers is advantageous.
Knowledge of the Swedish language is desirable but not a requirement. However, all PhD Students are expected to be able to teach in Swedish as well as in English after two years of employment. Those who do not have Swedish as their mother tongue are offered courses in the Swedish language.
